Just for comparison I uploaded this image of both duckduckgo & google for the query above: https://imgur.com/a/1Fci80P
The layouts are different & it’s hard to tell if that impacts whether or not the results are sorted by dimension so they can fit the maximum number of images in the viewport; or if they just have slightly different ranking.
Probably a little of both, but image search results are a little harder to compare between search engines — or harder to compare than “plain” results.
My point is, while it’s completely fair to question Google’s results and doubt what actually producing those results; it’s a lot more scientific to compare their results to at least one of their “competitors.”
Easier said than done, but until there are no comparisons available we should do this (maybe just to produce data so when you search “Which is better Google or ??????” there’s a result).
